Hot Choccy.....

[dontticklethetoad]

I know ianbu. Although maybe slightly U as I know these type of threads have been done to death.

Ive just been on Facebook for the first time in ages and the first two words I see are 'hot choccy'. I can't stand it.

That is all.

@Ski40 not sure what you mean by the new thing 'Yous' surely that's. Regional/dialect thing?

It's certainly what's been said in Northern Ireland and areas of the north east of England for donkeys years. Probably some other areas too.

duckponds I confess that the person I was referring to in my op may have been of a antipodean persuasion..... I don't have a problem with Australian or any other accents for that matter. But there is something about an Australian accent saying "hot choccy".......

@SKi40 yous becomes 'yiz' and 'yizzer' in Dublin, not new, not by a long shot.

This is deeply irrational but I can't bear 'goujon', an item my mother has been dishing up as 'party fare' for years. "Would anyone like a fish or a chicken goujon?" she will hospitably enquire, while I try and hide my cringing.

"yous" has also been around in Scotland forever.

yous has been central Scotland thing for forever.

Another thing I remembered is when people think they're a fashion journalist (journo) and say 'a bold lip' or 'a wide legged trouser'.

Totally baffling and pretentious.

I took my kid to see Father Christmas in a posh store and he spoke to the kids( a group setting) about a ‘lovely blankie wankie’🤨... he blushed 😁

@katiepoes @angryburd I had never heard it before (I'm in the South East of England) but over the last year or so I have seen it everywhere, on tv a lot too. It seems to be spreading then? 🙁
Ugh the bold lip thing... gaah.😝 Used as a caption for a facebook selfie from a nobody in not particularly remarkable makeup. Annoying oh yes.

Oops sorry @soupforbrains @ThisIsTheFirstStep I just saw you had answered me too.
It must be a regional thing then, thanks for the clarification, but I keep hearing it a lot down South lately, just for the last year or so. And I really don't like it. Might like it better if I hear it in the original accents though. I do like them! Specially in Mr Butler 😉

@Pixiedustaway blankie wankie 😂😂 priceless.
I am guilty of saying blankie (to my 3 year old) so now I'm worried that's going to come out... 🤣

@Ski40.... be afraid 😂😂😂😂😂

@steff13

@Pixiedustaway it's like an earworm now... if it happens I will be sure to report back here so you can all have a good laugh at me 😁

I’ve got a friend who took to saying “Maybes” instead of “Maybe” a couple of years ago. No idea why.

The bold lip/wide trouser/Black shoe/smokey eye thing makes me cringe but not as much as calling things “pieces”.

“Ooh I like - they have some lovely pieces”

Of what? Shortbread? Eight? Stop being so fucking pretentious 🙄

I’m guilty of saying horsies and doggies and infact adding ies to lots of things when talking to my 1 year old

GayAllen Pieces of eight has just made me laugh out loud at my desk.

pass me tol, but mostly with my dog

pieces of eight brilliant.

"Full-fat Coke." There is no fat in Coke. Surely you mean "regular" or "full-sugar" Coke. Or just Coke, since it's normal to specify diet, not regular. I do so enjoy the imagery of a glass of Coke with little globules of fat floating around in it. 🤢

Bit of s latecomer to this thread. Needing a lie-down from its gems. I would like to add:

We was — “we was watching telly”

Biccies - wtf? Are you 2? Chris Evans

On route. My DB always texts to say he is on route, so I reply “thank you for letting me know you are en route”

Hot choccy? Nom nom

@MissClareRemembers

In the right context I'm prepared to overlook that one.

One more that's relatively new but gaining ground on mumsnet (and therefore the whole country obvs ) is POOP.

What's wrong with poo for heavens sake? Sounds blooming awful.

Ex dp has taught our dd to say ‘biccies’, ‘brekkie’ and ‘choccy’

@OyO - 'Circle' is interchangeable with 'roundabout' where I grew up (an industrial northern town).
